5:54 am

Scrabbler

Hi aslindy. What happened with Lavender's exposed suture?

5:55 am

aslindy

no serious damage. must keep the cone or something on her to keep her from licking it. I didn't think she had been doing so but I was wrong.

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Animals are sneaky.

5:56 am

aslindy

my other dog, Pipper, is very loud at licking. Lavender is not, apparently.

5:57 am

aslindy

I got more pain meds for her, too, since I was almost out.

9:22 am

hokie carla

almost formula

9:26 am

welki

hi folks - found a word that might announce the arrival of the punster in midieval times :)

9:27 am

hokie carla

hmm. hi welki!

9:30 am

hokie carla

I just found a word that makes me think of blazing saddles

9:30 am

welki

*sings* falling in love again, never wanted to ...

9:31 am

welki

i'm tired, tired of love and desire

9:31 am

hokie carla

I'm. so. tired.

9:31 am

welki

but can't find a word that would remind me of the movie (draws the curtain on my madeline kahn schtick)

9:32 am

hokie carla

it was by howard johnson (higgins from magnum pi) welcoming the sheriff to town

9:33 am

BzznBea

the 7s are eluding me

9:33 am

hokie carla

i have only found 3 7's so far, but still doing first pass

9:34 am

rururocks

I have 8 of them.. missing two

9:34 am

BzznBea

need 4 here

9:35 am

welki

there he is! ha6! (urepentant blurter)

9:36 am

hokie carla

hmm, I have one ha6 but prob not your blurt

9:37 am

hokie carla

these a's are annoying

9:37 am

BzznBea

agreed

9:41 am

hokie carla

well, first pass complete. 39 left and HOET. 10-12-10-7

9:44 am

hokie carla

9:45 am

Aloyisius

joining the unrepentant blurters club.. hi all

9:46 am

hokie carla

hey aloy!

9:46 am

welki

hi, aloy - another member of the fold :)

9:47 am

Aloyisius

lol, yes

9:47 am

Aloyisius

the UBC shall we say

9:48 am

welki

(p.s. that word i blurted 'sounds like' the announcement of his arrival)

9:48 am

Aloyisius

6 more to hunt down here

9:48 am

welki

yes, the UBC - sounds official

9:52 am

Aloyisius

"tuft of feathers on the tip of a bird's wing".. perfect example of an al5.12 that should be blurted .. pretty little word I just learned by looking it up. How else could you find it except by monkeying?.. or if you were a bird nerd, which I am, but still didn't know that one. Maybe an ornithologist would see it right off the bat.

9:54 am

Aloyisius

and it has two other associated words

9:54 am

rururocks

well I'll be plucked aloy

9:55 am

10:01 am

BzznBea

icve found this one to be frustrating. no flow

10:02 am

Aloyisius
